Medical Ethics for the 21st Century

(10 lessons)Within the field of ethics, one of the most challenging frontiers is medical ethics. While contemporary medical knowledge preserves life, modern advances have raised moral and ethical issues related to the sanctity and dignity of life - issues whose scope was unimaginable a generation ago. A new ten-lesson Melton course on Jewish Medical Ethics explores Jewish approaches to a number of challenging dilemmas including human cloning, surrogate motherhood, transsexual surgery, assisted suicide and genetic manipulation.

This global alumni organization enables you to remain engaged with your peers in social and learning opportunities, to receive early registration for learning seminars and to give back to the institution that has given so much to you. Funds raised will be earmarked to support the ongoing professional development of Melton directors and faculty.
